just a child

Used to laugh loud, used to run outside Had a world full of dreams in her little hands Now she don’t even recognize who she is Door closed, silence louder than screams Something broke inside, shattered her dreams Tried to say “no” but her voice got lost Now she carries that weight, pays the cost 🔥 [Chorus / Hook – Emotional & Viral Ready] She was just a child, didn’t understand Why the world got dark from a grown man’s hands Now she’s screaming inside but she don’t make a sound Smiles on her face while she’s breakin’ down Say her name, let her story be heard Every silence only buries the hurt She was never the blame, let the truth be loud— She was just a child… just a child… [Verse 2] Now she flinches when the room gets still Hides her pain but you can feel it real Eyes say things her mouth won’t speak Strong on the outside, inside she’s weak She screams in her head but it don’t come out Walks through life full of shame and doubt Blames herself though it ain’t her fault Carrying burdens no child should hold Sleepless nights, replayin’ the past Tryna grow up way too fast And nobody sees what she hides inside So she learns how to quietly cry 🔥 [Chorus – repeat] She was just a child, didn’t understand Why the world got dark from a grown man’s hands Now she’s screaming inside but she don’t make a sound Smiles on her face while she’s breakin’ down Say her name, let her story be heard Every silence only buries the hurt She was never the blame, let the truth be loud— She was just a child… just a child… [Verse 3] She needed someone to say “I believe you” Not silence, not shame, not “we didn’t see you” Needed arms that would hold her tight Tell her “baby girl, you gonna be alright” But instead she learned to build them walls Smile in public, break when she falls Trust don’t come easy, love feels wrong Still she keeps tryna hold on And one day she might find her voice Turn that pain into power, make a choice To stand for the girls still stuck in fear Sayin’ “I see you… I’m right here” [Outro – spoken / soft] She was just a child… And none of it… was her fault.
